Viole reveals that he is a member of FUG and his mission is to slay the Jahad family that rules the Tower. He tells test administrator Love to fail all the other test takers.

However, Lurker threatened them, and Nia agreed to make other Regulars fail to forgive her debt. Wangnan tells Nia that he has no grudges against him.

Lurker reveals that he already has seven rooms, as Prince's and Yihwa's rooms are almost under his control.Wangnan interrupts Viole's and Love's battle by taking Viole's connector from Love and asks Viole to help him. When Lurker ordered Robdevil to kill Prince, Kang came to rescue, and Viole helped Yihwa regain her consciousness. Wangnan and Viole follow Lurker to his room. Wangnan notices that Lurker is using a water bottle in his pocket to control Shinsu and snatches it. Wangnan confronts Lurker, asserting that he is receiving divine punishment, not for himself, but for everyone who suffered because of him, especially Nia. Lurker laughs, dismissing Wangnan's reasoning and accusing him of justifying his actions. In anger, Wangnan grabs Lurker, insisting he is not like him. Lurker recounts his own struggles, blaming the president for his misfortunes and mocking the idea of love in a place filled with injustice. Enraged, Wangnan kicks Lurker and shoves a fireball in his mouth, demanding to know how he can justify killing Nia. Tears in his eyes, Wangnan vows never to forgive Lurker but ultimately chooses to forgive him, realizing that perpetuating injustice would solve nothing. Lurker scoffs at the notion of forgiveness, but Wangnan declares his intention to become the king of the Tower and change the injustices that led to suffering, urging Lurker to honor Nia's memory by living a decent life. Wangnan thanks Viole and manages to swap Viole's connector with his connector. As a result, Viole steals the final room, forming a team consolidated by Jue Viole Grace, Hon Akraptor, Ja Wangnan, Kang Horyang, Prince, Yeo Goseng, Yeo Miseng, and Yeon Yihwa. Love apologizes to the Test Director for everything that happened and offers his resignation as a test administrator. However, the Test Director instructs Love to send them upstairs and forget his grudges against FUG. When Love leaves, the Test Director speaks to Submerged Fish, saying that the mission has been accomplished as Wangnan passed the test as FUG wished. Viole asks Wangnan why he forgave Lurker. Wangnan says that he wants to be forgiven too, and he is no different from Lurker, as he might lie and kill people to climb the Tower. Viole asks Wangnan why he is so desperate to change by climbing the Tower. Wangnan says that he doesn't feel good when people build walls and try to block each other's paths due to the nature of the Tower. Wangnan wants to make the Tower a better place where everyone can laugh together and see a bigger sky too.
